Dating Rules, well ok its alright.

[capitald]

Guys, here are some ideas that work and get you respect:

1. Guys never pay for everything in the beginning, if she is too cheap to open her wallet you can do better.

2. Don't sleep with a woman on the first date or if you do don't ever ever contact a one night stand again.

3. Never a threesome with the girl you love, that is rude to say the least.

4. Porn, maybe it can be fun for a couple, maybe we are being too uptight about it, if it prevents cheating might it not be worth it. Perhaps, we will say "use with caution".

5. Never tell you woman she is fat. Don't try and help her get thin either.

6. Never accept a first date on anything other than Friday or Saturday, even if you plan to start off platonic.

7. Say we can be "just friends" only if it is an unavoidable move, but don't worry if you do because the women makes the executive decision.

8. Don't hold car doors too often. Once in a while just so you show you know your customs and manners, but not too much!! You don't want to look like the butler or chaffeur.

9. Don't look for perfection in a lady, just appreciate and respect her.

10. Learn how to tease properly and in moderation.

11. Show "you don't care" in other words, show that you won't take crap from her sometimes. Other times, take crap from her.

12. If she is not sexing you at approximately the two month mark, you just might be in trouble. Start fishing around.

13. Always remember they need sex more than you because female masturbation is more of a pain in the butt than male masturbation, so don't pressure yourself.

14. Treat her like crap. Bad idea, flirtatious teasing should not be equivilated with treating a girl like crap, treat her like crap and she will treat you like crap. Romantic teasing is not put down oreinted.

15. Buy small gifts at first and progress to larger gifts. A CD is a great idea for a first gift. If she doesn't respect your budget and wants to be lavished beyond your means, shes bad, you can do better or she needs to find a sugar daddy.

 

Ok I am getting repetitive, you get the point here. Just remember, be laid back, have fun.

 

sincerely

Who are these rules for?

 

I'm not disagreeing with any of them, but only because they seem like your rules from experience, not general rules. Some of them contradict themselves, and others don't make grammatical sense. Others are insulting to women. Maybe women are the ones who came up with "the Rules," but that doesn't mean they worked - or that men need rules.

 

Every woman is different. Sure, no guy I know wants to be a "sugar daddy." Even so, some guys like to be treated like botomless pits (I have a friend who dated an Italian guy that loved to spend money on her - and she loved the arrangement even more than he did - it obviously didn't last, as he was mostly only interested in sex, but couldn't date a girl who didn't own a Fendi bag...). Here are a few responses:

 

1. No respectable girl would go out with you again if you insisted she pay her half.

2. Like it's your decision.

3. This one should go without saying, but since it doesn't - it's true.

4. Tread carefully with this one on LS. The small number of women in the world who have serious issues with porn post here.

5. I'll bet you could lose a few ponds yourself. Usually, the men who make comments like this can.

6. Because women almost never want to have sex on a Wednesday or Thursday, but are more rearing to go if they don't have to work the next day.

7. She makes most of the decisions.

8. Also don't hold other doors open for her - some feminists and lesbians are offended by this.

9. Because she has already accepted that you're a far cry from perfect yourself.

10. See #14

11. Also, it helps to be ambiguous and vague. And to contradict yourself.

12. Or just start sleeping with other women. Obviously you haven't talked about it if you aren't sleeping together after two months, and you don't know what the hell is going on. Why start now?

13. Always remember that if you don't know how much sex she wants or needs you aren't communicating properly and she's probably going to dump you for her vibrator. It's really less of a pain in the ass then having a guy who doesn't know where things are.

14. Learn english. Romantic teasing is not treating her like crap. I don't date people who "treat me like crap" or play any other games. Every woman is different. Some like playing games, others don't.

Good rules!! Both of you.

[capitald]

oh, just a note: these rules I posted represent only my opinions and they are not intended to represent the views of http://www.loveshack.org, it's affiliates and/or the people that run/moderate/control it.

 

P.S. in response to the first reply, rule #16:

 

16. The minute the rules are made clear, girls will try and blur them again.

[mintjulep]

Haha, yeah, I figured they were just opinions or I wouldn't have replied. Sorry if my sarcasm didn't translate well, or if my wit was a bit too dry and feminist-sounding. Sometimes my jokes don't translate well over the internet because my facial expressions cannot be seen.

[mintjulep]

And as long as guys keep screwing them up, the rules will never be clear.

Don't worry mintjulip, as women go, you sound classy and hot.

Rule #17: Girls will usually expect the guy to pay for about 1/4 more than them in terms of dating expenses, with the exception that occassionally they will expect the guy to pay for everything. Hey, she needs to know how bad you want her?
